Big "company summit" this week where everyone flies in and we discuss the future of the company (sadly not over drinks). I might be getting promoted with stock and pay increase, and allowed to hire another dev.

Yet, here I am, updating and sending out my resume, and hoping for something, anything.

A 30% raise wouldn't be enough to deal with all of this madness.

Hire me! I'm great, I'll fix ur jobs and do calls for you.

Hope you get something soon, till then try to enjoy your current predicament.
And as @Condor said, hang in there...

How about 32% ?

@codebanana Maybe 50%? Maybe.

They're paying on the low end for a typical Rails dev, and I'm doing full-stack with React as well.

And I'm not even being a rails dev; I've written almost no code in weeks. It's all debugging and code research and catering to the whims of sales. lol the *entire* company is sales, save me. literally.

I feel you dude.
Nothing can compensate for all the stress and trauma.

Good luck, you 🤗

@Root Ask them to increase your salary monthly by 10% instead of immediate 30%.
Also you've been called a dude, which is fun.

@root
Well don't give up that easily.
There must be something, you probably need to fish it out at the same position.
Try once! After all you are a Ruby person!

@knight But I don't want to stay.

@Noob Not really.
And what, 10% every month forever? I could go for that.

@Root Well x*1.1*1.1*1.1 > x*1.3 so its already good.
Then prolonging it is another project.

Ashkin never replies to the things I say. I'm such an irritating boy.

@AlgoRythm I wasn't aware you knew Ruby, or were serious 😋

@Root
A company full of sales people what can go wrong xD
Just build a box we can sell that

If you don't enjoy the workplace/people leave. They high raise would be a payoff too yourself for the extra suffering. Life is too short for that.

That being said getting stock's can be interesting; do you get to keep them, if you quit you're job?

@Triskelion It depends if I'd get stock or stock options.

Stock is property given to you, immediately, often in place of a bonus; it goes up and down in value thereafter as you'd expect.

Stock Options are like a rain check for stock. The company gives you the option to buy up to `n` shares of stock, whenever you want, for the price the stock was at when you were given the options.

You can keep stock if you quit -- it's property -- but not stock options. Unless of course you buy them.
